This year, sales for the conversation hearts are expected to drop by more than 80 percent.

Necco folded in July 2018 after operating for more than 100 years. Along with Sweethearts, the company produced Mary Janes, Necco Wafers and Clark bars.

Panic-buying ensued from shoppers in March 2018 after the news broke that Necco may be folding, with sales jumping more than 50 percent.

Necco was later bought in an auction by Round Hill Investments, who then sold the company to Spangler Candy Co. in September 2018. With only five months left until Valentine's Day, Spangler did not have enough time to produce a large number of Sweethearts.

However, the beloved candy will be back next year.

Kirk Vashaw, the CEO of Spangler Candy Co., told the candy website, "We are looking forward to announcing the relaunch of Sweethearts for the 2020 Valentine's Day season."

You can still find the beloved candy now — but it will cost a pretty penny.

Amazon is selling boxes starting at $9, and on eBay, an eight-pack box of candies is going for $12.
